The operational decline is real but largely expected given the divestiture-driven transition to a pure-play Aurora business. The $5.00 special distribution and strong balance sheet provide a floor. Monitor the next quarter for evidence that the lowered $200-225M EBITDA guideposts are achievable and whether memory chip headwinds stabilize.

Executive Summary
Vistance Networks reported Q2 2026 results that were generally in line with management's expectations but showed a sharp operational decline from the prior year. Core non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA fell 43.3% to $45.5M, driven by tough license-sale comparables and memory chip pricing headwinds. The company simultaneously announced a $5.00/share special distribution following the close of the RUCKUS sale, bringing total 2026 shareholder returns to $15.00/share or $3.4B, and lowered its full-year Aurora adjusted EBITDA guideposts to $200-225M from $225-250M.
